Watermark lyrics

Instrumental

Language: English

Though I walk through
warm sands in Africa
winds will grow soon
to storms in Africa.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?

Dark skies fall on
black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
clouds now close over me.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way?

Storms have come!
rains wash the earth away

Hi-ri-u
Ho-ro-ho
Ho-ri-u
Him-o-ro-ho

Hoireann is oro
Tá muid beo

We are alive

Him oro ho
Go deo na ndeor

Forever and ever

Watermark (With Translation)
Cursum Perficio

Cursum perficio. I am making an end to my course.
Verbum sapienti: A word to the wise:
quo plus habent, the more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.
Post nubila, Phoebus After the clouds, Phoebus (1)

Strange how
my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore.
Strange how
I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before.

Cool waves wash over
and drift away with dreams of youth
so time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough.

And so this is where I should be now
Days and nights falling by

Days and nights falling by me.
I know of a dream I should be holding

Cold as the northern winds
in December mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
from this far distand shore.

Winter has come too late
too close beside me.
How can I chase away
all these fears deep inside?

I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.

My light shall be the moon
and my path - the ocean.

let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,

Cursum perficio
Cursum perficio
Cursum perficio
Cursum perficio

Cursum perficio

Verbum sapienti (eo plus cupiunt)
Verbum sapienti
Quo plus habent} eo plus cupiunt
Verbum sapienti
Quo plus habent} eo plus cupiunt

Post nubila, Phoebus
Post nubila, Phoebus
Post nubila, Phoebus

Quo plus habent, eo plus cupiunt
Quo plus habent, eo plus cupiunt
Quo plus habent, eo plus cupiunt

Cá fhad é ó How far is it from?
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha. Walking through the storms
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha. Going through the storms

Cá fhad é ó How far is it from?
An tús don stoirm. The beginning of the storm

Instrumental

When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.
As I walk the room there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can follow.
carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
close to home - I cannot say.
